esteban Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I like Manresa, campsite #13 is the best. It's the last one one the loop and is closest to the bluff(best view) My wife and I camped there for four days a few months ago and discovered #13. Just be ready to carry your equipment a hundred yards or so. Sorry for the hijack. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manresa uplands without a doubt, tent camping only, used to live near there twice, long story Sunset draws sketchy types New Brighton is great but mostly set up for RV's and trailers Zmudski, day use only, not sure?

esteban Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think Will is right, Zmudowski is day use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVideo Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 My family has camped at both New Brighton & Manresa. Each has benefits and drawbacks. New Brighton is up on the cliff, so getting to the beach requires many stairs. Manresa is just slightly higher than the beach. It's an easy walk to the beach, but the parking lot is quite a ways away. We bring a small wagon to haul our stuff to the campsite. BTW across the highway from Manresa is a KOA camp if that's your preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJB Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 One piece of advice I have is to reserve asap. I booked my current campsite 2 months ago and it was the last available campsite on the entire coast of cali for my particular weekend so I got lucky. Seems like you have to book 6 mo or longer in advance if you want a spot. camping during the weekdays would yeild better luck getting a spot. I wanted to stay at New Brighton but they are book up all the way until early november so I didnt have any choices available so I was "stuck" with Sunset SB. Had had to settle for what I can get my hands on. you have to go to http://www.reserveamerica.com to reserve a campsite at any campground you decide to go.

GriffSC Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 thanks, guys. i've never really wanted to camp at new brighton anyway. been to the beach below it a million times and am not really that big a fan, and my kids would NOT want to do the walk down there. sounds like manresa is the way to go. the uplands, huh? i'll check into it. however, we might have to hit the KOA across the street instead. sunset is sketchy? you would know, Will, wouldn't you?
